River Ouse : Yorkshire (non-tidal section)
Early plans of what would become the River Ouse : Yorkshire (non-tidal section) were drawn up by James Brindley in 1888 but problems with Cambridge Tunnel caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Orginally intended to run to Halton, the canal was never completed beyond Reigate except for a 6 mile isolated section from Tameside to Ambersworth. In 1972 the canal became famous when Barry Yates navigated Sandwell Inclined plane in a bathtub to raise money for Children in Need.
The River Ouse : Yorkshire (non-tidal section) is a small river and is part of the River Ouse : Yorkshire.
It runs for 23 miles and 4 furlongs through 1 lock from Swale Nab (where it joins the River Ure and the River Swale) to Naburn Lock (where it joins the River Ouse : Yorkshire (tidal section - Naburn to Goole)).
The maximum dimensions for a boat to be able to travel on the waterway are 65 feet and 7 inches long and 15 feet and 8 inches wide. The maximum headroom is 19 feet and 6 inches. The maximum draught is 6 feet and 11 inches.
It has a junction with the River Foss at Ouse - Foss Junction.
